Dag en nacht

I'm sitting at the table at home, in front of me a sheet of paper
I'm tired and drunk, lack of sleep and too much beer
I want to write you what I've tried for weeks already
What is the truth late at night
But in the morning not anymore

I get up from the table get a new cigaret
And ponder another beer, or finally to bed
The words turn through my head, sleep is now impossible
So I walk to the fridge and try it one more time

I think of you day and night
When I sleep you are with me
When I wake you're gone
Day and night of you
I want to see you today
Tell you that I love you

When I get up in the morning I am fuzzy and numb
I think about last night, regret throbs in my head
I read what I wrote, and shame overcomes me
Then I discard it laughing, even though I mean every word

I think of you night and day
When I sleep you are with me
I awake you're gone
Day and night of you
I want to see you today
To tell you that I love you
